‘Personal’ paradise is more than just an expression to us. And ‘outdoor living’ more than a signature phrase. Our designs promote balance between nature and lifestyle - encouraging homeowners to ‘get outdoors’ in extended landscape living spaces. A bit of paradise a few steps from one's home interior.
Private retreats may have many design elements: soothing fire and water features, impressive walkways and lounge patios, rustic yet sophisticated outdoor kitchens with custom amenities - all with incredible entertaining options for large gatherings while also allowing for quiet family enjoyment.
Enjoy a walk down ‘Paradise lane’ as you view some examples of our award winning exterior designs.

Beautiful job rebuilding my small city lot on a very busy street from zero to an oasis (or it will be once I can plant in the spring). It was a complicated job dealing with a bamboo invasion/ digging out large rocks/ installing a pond/ building a retaining wall to support the new deck/ installing drain tile underneath a rock "river"/ building a screening fence, two gates, a shed, and hot tub privacy fencing. Things went well overall. Their excavators, carpenters, pond builder, and stone masons are all first rate. They are not cheap, but I didn't really think any of the other companies I got bids from could have successfully handled a job with this many moving parts.
My quibble is how long it took (four months) with long periods where they were not working on this job. People get sick and don't work out, of course, but all too often I was not kept in the loop. But as I said, I am satisfied with the job and look forward to years of peaceful enjoyment of a beautiful new space.

Micah is extremely knowledgeable and goes out of his way to assist with ideas for your project. In my first interaction with him, he spent 30 minutes (after hours) to listen to my plans and to share ideas. He walked me through pictures of beautiful projects and concepts that may fit my needs and spent a good amount of time showing me previous jobs/concepts that he thought may be good fits for my project. That was truly unexpected and much appreciated. He is clearly passionate about his work/company and it shows. I would definitely recommend his services!

These guys came back to do a repair 5 years after the work was done. I was really impressed that they even responded to my email and pictures. We had 2-3 rows of pavers that were sloping next to the stairs. They came in raised it back to level and relayed the pavers. Micah was great to work with and like I said, I'm surprised they even took my call let alone came out to do the repair. They could have easily blamed it on poor drainage or roots or other. I'd use them again for sure and would highly recommend them.

I originally wrote to Micah asking questions about his Roth property project. I was searching photographs of outdoor projects similar to our design. Our project is about to get started and we are down to a few more details which we need to decide. What I saw on the photos of the Roth project appeared to be very close to our hopes. I took note that the location out west (Oregon) and we live on the east coast (Pennsylvania), so I wasn't certain I would get a response, but decided to try anyway.
I first contacted him via Houzz and to my surprise he responded by calling me back and leaving a voicemail. I, in turn, called him back and we spoke on the phone. I explained our project to Micah and asked him about some of the dimensions of his Roth project. Micah eagerly responded and had no problem talking with me about the project and a few more questions I had.
Needless to say I was very impressed that he would take the time to respond to me and also discuss my project and his already completed project. He did this while knowing he would really not benefit from sharing his time and knowledge with someone he most likely will never do business with. I really appreciated him taking time to contact me and also talk to me about this. I wish Micah and his co-workers continued good luck with their business!
Thanks again,
Dave Clemens

We recently had the pleasure of working with Paradise Restored and could not be happier. They came and gave us a free estimate. We gave them a general idea of what we wanted. After that, we got out of the way and let them work their magic. Our backyard was terribly bumpy and the lawn was dying from big old dead trees. We now have beautiful grass growing on a level yard, a new path along the side of our house and river rock creating a nice border between the lawn and the fence. A row of arborvitae is now replacing the old trees so the yard feels twice as big as before. We will definitely be calling them again for another project next Spring.

My wife and I recently posted several photos of our "restored" backyard on Facebook and received glowing comments from our friends, one of whom - without knowing your company's involvement - responded with a single word: "Paradise!"
I want to thank the entire team at Paradise Restored including owner Micah Dennis, designer Elizabeth Hodgson and in particular construction coordinator Richard Hadeed, who had to leap a number of unexpected hurdles in order to implement what we have today, and did so with much patience and grace.
Now... time to relax and enjoy the splendid fruits of their labors!

I hired Paradise Restored to improve the look of my backyard and they delivered! They installed a patio with a beautiful fire pit made of pillars of Colombia River basalt as well as a gravel path and a new gate. The workmanship was excellent as was the collaboration on the design and implementation. It all comes down to implementation, and I would especially like to call out Isidro for his vision, insight and workmanship. He was continually making adjustments and ensuring quality. The entire project team did an incredible job! Thanks!

We worked with Micah and Paradise Restored on the design and execution of a full-scale transformation of our large sloped backyard in Multnomah Village in SW Portland. They did an amazing job! We've worked with several landscapers and contractors over the years and Paradise Restored definitely rose to the top. Every member of the team was top-notch. The designer, project manager, and crew were all awesome to work with and we felt like they took our project's success very personally and did everything they could to help our project succeed.
We have already recommended Paradise Restored to several people.

Working for a major NW Hardscape products supplier I have personally been affiliated with Paradise Restored for almost 4 years. I have found them to be very professional in the way they run their business. I have dealt with both office and field personnel and it is a pleasure to work with their people. Paradise Restored is a member of our Preferred Contractor program and we continue to recommend them because we get great customer feedback.

We used Paradise Restored for their design services and they created our dream backyard! We didn't even make one change to the design because the designer completely captured our style and the elements we were looking for. We didn't know where to begin but knew things we liked and she brought it all together into a comprehensive design. It was stunning and we are building to it now. Micah was an absolute pleasure to meet and work with thru the design process.

We worked with Micah and team to do a fairly extensive landscaping project at our home, from re-imagining the space and layout, through full implementation. The team was courteous, respectful and responsive throughout the whole process and the results exceeded our expectations. There were a number of instances where Paradise went above and beyond to help ensure we were happy with the results. I would highly recommend Paradise Restored to anyone, and will be engaging them again in the future!
